Mayo V Galway

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post

Nobody knows what's going to happen, the difference this time is that it's knockout so one would expect Galway to play out of their skins, no doubt Mayo will. If Galway don't wake out of their slumber and play attacking football they won't deserve to win. Lets not see the likes of Martin Farragher being introduced in th 67th minute, have him on from the start and feed himself and Ian Burke lots of decent ball. Go for the jugular. Let both teams go for it and lets see a good game of 'football' for a change.

Replying To kazoochka:  "Comer has played a grand total of 10 minutes of football all year. No chance he is back for this."
Cillian O'Connor didn't play a minute for Mayo until coming on against Armagh. Comer and Conroy would be good for 10-20 minutes surely.

Armagh left huge holes through the Mayo defence in the second half. Galway aren't great defensively themselves but if their forwards are given the freedom and space they will have too much for Mayo.

Replying To tommy132:  "Limerick be the best place to have it, big crowd and great atmosphere.
Galway will be favourites, Mayo have struggled past Down and Armagh. Mayo are wide open at the back and now no Keegan they have no one to mark Shane Walsh. Keith Higgins is a weak link in the full back line, cant have him marking anyone hes way to loose, he needs to be a sweeper or out the field.
I think Galway would win the Mid Field battle and that will be the difference."
The bookies have Mayo as slight favourites at this stage, but it's razor-thin.
If we can't raise our performance for this, we have no excuses.

Brilliant. I was strongly in favour of a boarder wall years ago but my drunken ramblings were never taken seriously!!! it's too late not now. We wouldn't be walling ye out but instead walling ye in!

He was referring to total minutes. Comer has played a fraction of one game only at club level this year, which was just over a week ago. Cillian returned to playing for Balintubber in mid-April, so he has had a lot more time to get sharper.
I'd be very surprised if Comer is in any way ready to play intercounty by next weekend.

Replying To FallenStar:  "Christ no, I've heard nothing but bad things from hurling fans travelling there. Apparently semi-final between Galway and Clare was terrible for traffic last year.

Limerick is a sensible option, motorway direct from Tuam."
Limerick would be the best capacity wise and distance also. The one downfall being that both sets of supporters would be coming into Limerick from the one side.

Replying To Belclare:  "If I comment people will say I'm obsessed with Mayo..
But what a game in prospect.."
No you are not Belclare!
It's just the Mayo people are obsessed with thinking Galway people are obsessed with Mayo.
But we're not.
Really.

Replying To PressureKick:  "Bought it with what? The tarmac industry dried up there during the crash. Is there good money now in sweeping sheds and cutting grass or whatever other jobs Galway people give to the Mayo influx?"
pathetic comment

Get the train from Galway..save ye some hassle. Other wise come down through east Clare....or motorway to Ennis and down through Sixmilebridge and in the old Cratloe road to Clareview..you wont have to stop once.

Apparently Galway agreed to flip a coin on who gets home advantage but mayo refused so its going to limerick for a double header and Galway mayo the second game throwing in at 7

It's a bit ironic after the Newry outrage that mayo refused to flip a coin for a home game

He left it wearing a boot. Not a traditional cast. World of difference and the boots are worn regularly by sports persons to act as support post game.

Nothing more to it than pure precaution I would have thought.
